NORTHEAST RALLY: PA, NY, NJ, CT, DE, MD, VA - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

No.2Diesel · 01-30-2007, 13:52

I just fired off an email to the people at Rausch Creek Off-Road Park to get some clarification on whether or not we can be accomodated.

I feel that off-roading with our MVs is an important ingredient of any rally. I'm sure most of you would not expend the time and effort to attend a regional rally if there wasn't any off-roading to be had. Rausch Creek meets our requirements of insurance, onsite camping, and off-roading. Looking at the Member Locator Map I count at least thirty members within reasonable driving distance.

I would like to see a "show of hands" from anyone who would like to attend and what vehicle(s).

I will start off by throwing out a date of Columbus Day weekend (OCT 5,6,7,8,9.)

Please let me know what you think.

I'm interested - my tentative vehicle is my M-725.

Sounds "Doable" to me! What's the zip code for the location you have in mind?
Edit; found it! http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/home.php

It sounds fun to me too I am not sure that I will still be assigned to the East Coast then but if I am I know my sons would like to come to. Most likely the duece and M1009.

I have been told by Lynn of Rausch Creek that:

1.) Groups should give sufficient notice
2.) Alcohol is allowed!!

(after your done off-roading for the day)

Keep the comments, ideas and Date suggestions coming.

We have been there twice with my son's TJ 7 inch lift and lots of climbing $$ added to it and the place is great, he broke the spiders in the POC dana 35 and they gave us some used ones to get us noisily home. I doubt that they have any duece parts but the place has tons of places to go wheeling. My son now has a Corporate 14 bolt FF axle since he broke the axle shafts in the 35 the second time out there. (Serious rock climbing available)

it should do, maybe shoot for the second weekend in july?

red devils dude · 01-30-2007, 17:49

after looking at the Rausch Creek calendar maybe first weekend in august would be better.

No.2Diesel, you are now the moderator of the Northeast US Rally forum at the bottom of the main forum menu. Thanks for volunteering to put together a great Rally at Rausch Creek this year. Please let me know if you need any help from me or from SteelSoldiers.Com to get this thing going.

I only live 30 miles from Rausch Creek Park. We go there several times a year. It is a nice place and the people that run it are very nice too !! The problem is the trails are on the tight side for a full size pick up. They are working on opening some of the trail up a little , but anything bigger than a CUCV will not fit on most of the trails.
